First up from a spell of 37 weeks. Odds of $51.00 and disappointing effort when 10th last run at this track but has minimal work to do from the draw. Hard to entertain.

Backing up quickly for this race. Was $5.50 and came in 10th last run at this track. Expecting improvement here and returns to a longer distance. Rates as one of the key chances.

Resuming after a spell of 32 weeks. Was $41.00 and below par when 12th last time here but going over extra ground. The large claim from Qasim Jameel should help. Prefer in something a lot easier.
